The thing that I most liked was it’s close to the beach and the 12 apostles but not in the main busy touristy hubs. Apollo bay is only 30 minutes away though.

The Great Ocean Walk Retreat is an excellent place to use as a base to visit The Great Ocean Road and The Great Ocean Walk. The one-bedroom apartment has all the facilities you could need, even down to a lovely supply of breakfast choices. Its location is central to the surf beaches, the 12 Apostles (and other sand cliffs lookouts), the Otway National Park and Forest. The owners have prepared an information map that lists the various points of interest within both walkable and driveable distance. The only thing to be aware of is that it's about half an hour from the nearest urban centre for food supplies, so you do have to plan ahead. We had four nights here and we would definitely stay here again.

Felt remote away from civilisation. Got upgraded to a spacious 2 storey accomodation. Lots of attractions within driving distance; 12 apostles, lighthouse, forest, beaches, etc. Beautiful large gas heater kept the apartment nice and warm. Friendly hosts.

The shower temperature was a bit hard to get right. We could also hear our neighbors next door loud and clear in our bedroom. You also don’t get much service at all in the area- not necessarily a bad thing for some.

We loved the property , it had everything we needed for our weekend away from a fully equitable kitchen, comfortable lounge area , a gas fire , movies and TV , comfy beds and a good bathroom . We received a nice breakfast on our first day where we could cook eggs , bacon , mushrooms , tomatoes and have yogurt and cereal. The area is beautiful with rolling hills. The owners are very helpful and gave us great tips on where to spot koalas and other things to do. Would defiantly recommend the area
